Okay, so basically when I change from first to second gear (like a grandma), and then let the clutch out...it makes a big thump probably 1/4 of the way up. the change to 3rd and 4th is less noticeable.

CLIFFS:

When i try to release the clutch (if i dont go incredibly slow) it makes a loud THUMP noise.

Does this mean the clutch is slipping?

What sort of clutch? Could be play in your driveline somewhere.

It is a stock clutch. Someone on silvia forums thinks it is because "the dual mass flywheel would have f**ked springs, causing the second mass to move and clunk"

I wish people on car forums actually helped.

Everyone on this forum is helpful, we are a community of car lovers and more so skyline lovers... Now I'll be brutally honest here, I

Don't know you, never dealt with you, but I HAVE heard of you.... I am a local guy like you, but you managed to upset a LOT, I can only assume u were a dick at some stage... I think you got banned yes?

Now, I'm not here to judge you... I am one of the guys you will meet soon, I suggest you bring the car and I'll have a look for you... OR if you can't drive it show me the car and I'll drive it and let you know.... E mechanics is near possible with the info you supplied, your knowledge of cars may be limited but you will learn in time...

Don't pick on the forum, evaluate yourself... And PM me if you have any issues with anything said...

I gave you a possible cause and you listed another. Skylines don't have dual mass flywheels so not everyone here will have experience with them

If that's how your gonna act I'm sorry I tried to help in the first place. Seems you didnt even bother looking at any play in the driveline

And if there's a possibility that its the dual mass flywheel why aren't you looking into that. Its a Sylvia not a skyline so don't get the $hits when a Sylvia forum has listed a possible issue and no one on here has.

He's just trolling you guys.

Don't bother helping him.

He probably doesn't even have a problem, just making up something to troll with.

OT.

Go to a Silvia Forum and ask them.

Better yet, take it to a mechanic.

I appreciated your response, but you were the only person who bothered answering, and I dont know how to check for play in the driveline.

I can't find a mechanic for the S15 anyway, no one seems interested around here or seem familiar with s15's. If it was a v8 commodore etc id have no worries finding a mechanic.

So yeah, not going to waste money taking it to mechanics when they will just rip me off.

Reap what you sow motherf**ker. If you kill a man 1-2 years ago that don't mean your past ain't gonna catch up to you when you don't want it to.

Hi Benji,

It doesn't sound like your clutch is slipping rather something is worn. I'd suggest checking the tailshaft centre bearing.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
